I just noticed the new menu item. Nice.
A couple notes. It isn't bolded like the other menu items. Clicking it goes to the Lounge. Perhaps an index page like this would be more appropriate?

It isn't a new menu item, it has been there for months if not years. It was called "Lounge" which made sense when it got installed long ago, as the list was empty; simply clicking it yielded access to the Lounge. And then items got added, making the title a poorer and poorer choice each time something got added. And recently the Insider got moved above the Lounge item and created a lot of commotion I never understood, as clicking the main title still was the fastest way to get to the Lounge; it still is. And now the title has changed. And it still violates the MS guideline that states the Help menu should be rightmost.

I much prefer clicking the button and going straight to the Lounge without having to pass go or collect $200.

What's with all you freaks not having your browser favorite for Code Project go straight to the Lounge?

I'd be more than willing to receive the $200 if you don't want it. 
Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Since Moody's downgraded the banks you only get $50 and have to pass a credit check.

It's not being used.

I am able to see it well and good: Silverlight Application with MVVM WCF and EF[^]
Try clearing your cache and see. Last month, I faced something similar. Easiest way to confirm will be to use other browser to check your article.

I recently noticed that when I followed a link from an email back to a CP message, the message as you would expect was all pale blue. However for some reason, I went to see which post this message related to within the thread and noticed that the subject is not hoverable to display the parent/child lines at the left.
Looks like the styling for a selected message kills the hoverable actions on the subject for the message.
edit: Also happen if you just click the permalink in the message actions turn it blue.
Hope that makes sense!

Can you provide a link to the message?
I've been clicking permalinks and the hover-marker-thing still works nicely.
Except if you hover over the initial post... (this is by design since it's not a child of anything)

It's stubbornly refusing to not show the connector lines for me in Chrome.
 One of those bugs...

In the chrome debugger I just dragged and dropped the <a> tag from the subject line of a message to one that was opened via a permalink, then manually edited the name attribute to the number obtained from the permalink.
and voila, link lines now appear for the permalinked blue message.
So, is it because the subject of a permalinked message does not have a <a> tag with the associated, message-link class that is breaking the permalink message links.
e.g. Typical message subject has the following markup within the <td>
<a class="message-link" name="4296545" parent="4296226" thread="4293584" href="/Messages/4296490/Re-Highlighted-message-parent-child-lines-not-acce.aspx">Re: Highlighted message parent/child lines not accessible.</a>
a permalinked message does not.
|

|
|
|
Yes, it relies on the A tag.
Which Layout do you have your forums set to?

I'd offered to work with an author to fix the formatting on this[^]. I clicked to edit it, and then saw that he'd fixed most of the formatting issues so I left it to approve it. What has been approved is the default template - if you go back to the previous version, you can see what it should have been.
Thoughts?

We've been hunting around trying to replicate this issue but to no avail.

Fair enough. It's sorted anyway, so no worries.

I have seen twice that after an article turns from pending to published all download and picture links become dead.
For example in this article[] links are not working.
please help.

Looks like files aren't being replicated between servers correctly. We're putting measures in place to fix this.

I have seen many people pasting links from Google results as solution to questions, including top experts. In some cases, without the question being precise and not enough to provide a solution.
Have a look at this question:
Retrieve Image/Photo from SQL Database[^]
You can see my comments and the point that I am trying to make.
My only point is if links are just to give direction to the QP and doesn't answer his question, why aren't they posted as a "Comment or a Suggestion". That is what's been happening in most cases including top experts.
Thats certainly not right.
Please advise. Your interest will be appreciated.
Thanks
